SECOND EARTH SPACECRAFT HEADING FOR MARS

It seems the Earth inhabitants are turning their attention more and more towards us - Martian astronomers have confirmed that the latest object seen leaving Earth is the second craft to head our way.

As far as we can tell at this distance, there is no life aboard it; it is merely an automated device. Unlike the previous device, this one will be allowed to complete its journey, but its progress will be monitored closely to ensure it does not pose a threat to our security.

Our ancient civilisation is now well hidden from prying eyes, and providing it does not attempt to land near any sensitive areas it will not be interfered with.
